PRINCE4CHRIST:According to God, He does not answer the prayers — pleas/requests/petitions— of the unrighteous; their every prayer is made filthy by their sins(unholiness) and is hence an abomination to God. Yep, I am afraid you simply engaged in a time-wasting ritual there since God didn't answer any of your pleas. Jesus Christ instead said you are to seek first the Kingdom of God (holiness) and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things — blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) — can be added onto you. Righteousness is the key and the only way to obtain it is through continuous obedience to the teachings and commandments of God. Prayer will get you nowhere there. |

seyibrown:Repentance, as preached by Jesus Christ, is not from Sin but a transition from following God's Old Law to following God's New Law. A person who is a slave to sin, no matter how many times he turns away from sin, remains a slave to sin unless he, through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ — a conscious change in lifestyle fueled by greater self-discipline and self-control with a goal of turning completely away from sin—, comes to a knowing of the Truth, Jesus Christ, and is set free from slavery to sin by the Truth - John 8 vs 31 - 36. By the way, God does not answer the requests of the unrighteous; even their pleas for forgiveness are an abomination to God as a result of their sins. |

Joagbaje:1. There is no truth to this claim because God instead said He only grants the petitions of the righteous meaning that unless your Christian is already Righteous, God will not grant him his petition and he remains unforgiven until His righteousness status with God changes. You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. undecided God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. |

InesQor:Salvation from the condemnation of sin (Death) does not require forgiveness of sins. A Sinner who becomes born-again is granted access into the Kingdom of God carrying along with him his sin-debt from before citizenship in the Kingdom of God was granted. Should said sinner continue in sin(disobedience) after becoming born-again, he continues to pile on more sins against himself by his choice. However, should the born-again choose rather to live in obedience then his sin-debt, then by his every act of obedience, he slowly but surely pays off the sin-debt that stands in the way of holiness in the Kingdom of God. As Jesus Christ made clear in His Gospel, it is by knowing the Truth -- God's commandments and teachings in Jesus Christ, the dictionary of sin- that one is then set free from slavery to sin and transformed into a Son of God - John 8 vs 31 -36. Jesus Christ does not wipe away sins rather He is a path to redemption by which sinners, through obedience, are able to pay off their sins debts, and to righteousness with God. It is only after one has become righteous that God is then able to grant one righteousness by way of His answers to prayer. |

Joagbaje:■ God made it clear that the one who sins dies. ■ You do not inherit sin from Adam. Rather, it is your own sins that you pay for before you can become righteous with God. ■ Also, God does not answer your prayers of forgiveness since He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous. |
